I've posted this a few years ago. Not rep farming, I just think it's a really nice thing to know:

Fun fact:

His entrance call 'Not all who wander are lost' is taken from Bilbo's poem about Aragorn in The Lord of The Rings -

"All that is gold does not glitter,Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither,Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes a fire shall be woken,A light from the shadows shall spring;Renewed shall be Blade that was Broken,The crownless again shall be king."

I've been playing around with Prophet Velen in my Highlanduin decks. Using the Mirage Caller combo when you've played Shadowreaper Anduin is very powerful. Spirit Lash is also incredibly powerful with Velen, not only does the damage get doubled, but the lifesteal healing gets doubled on top of that! With only 2 other minions on the board it becomes a Volcanic Potion with a Greater Healing Potion slapped on to it! I think KFT has brought a lot of strong synergies with Prophet Velen, he's definitely worth considering in you Highlander Decks now.

I feel like this guy got a major power boost with the nerf to Big Game Hunter. I also like how it synergizes with Raza the Chained and Mirage Caller. Imagine being able hero power whatever you want for 8 damage (combining with Shadowform) every turn for 0 mana. I've only pulled it off a couple times, but, believe me, the game was over very quickly at that point.

Just packed him yesterday, and spent inordinate amounts of dust beefing up my priest collection so I could make him work. In the end, I made a control deck with him and Ragnaros the Firelord, and sometimes he helped me come back from the brink. (4 health, Velen and double Flash Heal. Velen also works as a good substitute for Justicar Trueheart, if you don't have her. Unfortunately, I mainly just use him as a sacrificial lamb to bait out hard removal for Ragnaros the Firelord

Got this card as the Random Class Legendary card of the Welcome Bundle, and right after it, the first opened pack contained a Golden Deathwing and Harrison Jones followed by a bunch of Rare and Epic cards.

The first game I played was a huge success as my opponent ran out of cards in its hand, slightly slowing down its progression to be a threat and poor player got smashed by Velen.

Couldn't the card text here be abbreviated to just "double your damage and healing effects?" Still, this would be an AMAZING buff, but it probably shouldn't affect minion combat. On a side note, Archmage Antonidas works wonders when paired with this thing, and honestly, priest would need a legendary like him the most. Maybe giving 3-cost Mind Blasts?

The inclusion of Embrace the Shadow makes him an incredibly dangerous card. If Prophet Velen survives a turn, the opponent is likely dead and sometimes the turn he's played the opponent is doomed. Embrace the Shadow makes comboing Flash Heal with Velen MUCH easier and can potentially turn 1 mana (Assuming both Flash Heals and Embrace the Shadow were hit by Thaurissan) into 20 damage. Priests may not be well known for their burst but it DOES exist and can often be a nice surprise factor due to how underrated it is.
